Internet users who are curios on how much money James Cameron spent on his latest movie may find an answer, but not exactly the one they are looking for.

“Have you seen how much money James Cameron spent on his new movie?” is the question featured in the latest malware-spreading spam campaign.

A link that promises the trailer for the motion picture actually points to a compromised website that serves the same piece of malware used by cybercriminals in the malicious email that warned of a pizza delivery, reports Commtouch Café.

I advise you to immediately delete any messages that promise you trailers or any other unreleased materials, especially if there’s a hot topic or a celebrity involved.

Also, a good security solution with an up-to-date virus definition database is always recommended.
